"There's only room for one "smarmy San Francisco-based independent integrated marketing communications company" in this alley, pal!"

So you probably heard about the nefarious "Stand For Marriage" anti-gay douchebaggery perpetrated by an agency right here in our little alley. Let's get one thing straight clear: That wasn't us. There are a lot of things we'd do for money. (Shut up.)  But selling out our friends, neighbors, and loved ones ain't one of them. So, if you're headed this way with pitchforks and torches, remember: we're the nice, talented not-evil people at 25 Maiden Lane; they're the soulless bloodsuckers at 58. Just follow the snail trail.

Our pals at the har har har remind us to hang in there, baby.

And to think we went all day without being those lame Californians who freak out at the first sign of rain.

It appears, however, that we've sprung a leak.

On the bright side, Sienna is not at fault. This time. 

MOLLY: "Look up, genius." 

HUGH: "Not without a brief."

Don't y'all fret none. Big ideas are waterproof.

So what do you do when a hilarious comedian mocks you relentlessly, making you the butt of a joke on a national stage for, oh I don't know, say…6 years?

Given some variable demographics, you might:

1)
Throw a rock

2)
Start a band

3)
Sob uncontrollably

4)
Post some nasty Facebook photos

5)
Make a voodoo doll

-or-

6) Do what Reno did. Go renegade with a reverse psychology smack-down and launch a national PR campaign to celebrate them…but not without being a little cheeky.

A couple weeks back when the network-who-could-not-be-named announced they were ditching Reno 911!, the RSCVA sprung into action with a Save Reno 911! viral campaign which has resulted in some great buzz. 

Contrary to logic but embracing all irony, not only do they want to show to survive and thrive, but this time with a catch: FILM IN RENO. Duh. Last time we checked the Sierra's didn't have palm trees.

And its at benchmark status folks:

1,220 petition signers on the website
1,293 fans on Facebook
267 followers on Twitter

…and counting. Check out this USA Today article that is right on the money. And stay tuned for more from the Save Reno 911! coalition. This ain't over 'till we get some Dangle action up there.

Check out the awesome copy on this flyer. Doesn't this guy's  situation remind you of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure?  You know, we had a couple laptops stolen recently…HEY…you don't suppose...they're in the basement of the Alamo? Well, wherever they are, we hope they take this bike thief straight to hell.
